Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are one way to start a career in screen. ScreenSkills does not provide apprenticeships but can advise on the best way to go about becoming or hiring an apprentice. Read on for details on how to become an apprentice, about current apprenticeship vacancies and what the new apprenticeship standards mean. This section also explains the workings of the apprenticeship levy, which was launched in 2017 to fund the new system.
